Soon, the group lit a bonfire inside the dilapidated temple.
A group of beauties sat around Wang Yang, wanting to get closer to him.
Wang Yang didn't seem to care, and his expression remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Mingyue frowned slightly, a question creeping into her mind:
"How could so many beautiful women be infatuated with him when he's so despicable and shameless?"
"Could it be that Wang Yang used some despicable means to control their minds?"
Just as Mingyue was lost in thought, a commotion came from outside the dilapidated temple.
Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a man walk in, completely soaked.
The man, dressed in white and carrying a long sword, walked with composure. Although he was soaked to the bone, he still exuded an air of grandeur.
His sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, and his eyes were as bright as stars, giving him an elegant and refined appearance.
Seeing this, Wang Yang glanced at the sword in the man's hand a few more times.
He could sense that the sword was young and vigorous, like the rising sun, its heroic spirit restrained, seemingly ordinary yet extremely intense.
"What a fine sword!"
While observing, Wang Yang quietly remarked.
At this moment, the man stepped forward. Upon seeing so many people inside the dilapidated temple, he was surprised and immediately cupped his hands in a respectful greeting:
"Gentlemen, I apologize for disturbing you, but may I ask if we may stay here for the night?"
Upon hearing what the man said, Zhao Min and the others did not give a reply, but instead looked at Wang Yang.
Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:
"This dilapidated temple is already unclaimed land. If you want to take shelter from the rain here, you don't need to ask our opinion."
Upon hearing this, the man in white smiled calmly and then found a place to sit down.
Just then, Bu Jingyun suddenly looked at the man in white and asked:
"Is that the Hero's Sword in your hand?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing Bu Jingyun's question, the man in white was slightly startled, but smiled calmly and said:
"Brother, you have a good eye! This sword is indeed a hero's sword!"
As he spoke, the man in white glanced down at the long sword he was holding.
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Wang Yang's eyes.
"Hero's Sword?"
"So, this man is Jian Chen, the disciple of Tianjian Wuming?"
With this in mind, Wang Yang spoke:
"Brother Jianchen, where is your master, the venerable Wuming, now?"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's question, Jian Chen was immediately shocked, never expecting that Wang Yang would recognize his identity.
At the same time, Zhao Min and the others also looked surprised.
He was especially shocked by Shi Qingxuan's story.
"He...he actually knows this person?"
"Is he really omniscient?"
Shi Qingxuan muttered to herself, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Yang a few more times.
At this moment, Jian Chen snapped out of his daze, glanced at Wang Yang, and said:
Who are you?
"Why did you suddenly ask about my teacher?"
Wang Yang smiled calmly and said, "It's nothing, I just asked casually!"
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, becoming wary involuntarily.
Then, without saying anything more, he closed his eyes and rested.
Wang Yang didn't pay any attention to this.
Others might not be able to tell, but he could tell at a glance that Jian Chen appeared ordinary on the surface, but in reality, he was seriously injured.
After a moment of silence, Wang Yang suddenly spoke:
"Brother Jianchen, if I'm not mistaken, you must have suffered some serious injuries, right?"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's question, Jian Chen was greatly shocked and immediately opened his eyes, staring straight at Wang Yang.
"How...how did you know?"
"Who exactly are you?"
Jian Chen asked with a solemn expression, tightening his grip on the Hero Sword in his hand.
He also noticed that many of the people present possessed extraordinary auras, and their strength was likely above his own.
If this is detrimental to him, he may not escape his fate today.
"Don't be so nervous, I mean you no harm."
"If you trust me, I can help you heal your wounds."
Wang Yang smiled faintly and said this.
However, Jian Chen completely disregarded Wang Yang's good intentions and responded:
"I appreciate your kindness, but I can handle my injuries myself, so please don't worry about me!"
After saying this, Jian Chen didn't wait for Wang Yang to say anything more and began to heal his injuries on his own.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Min and the others all rolled their eyes at Jian Chen with disdain.
Thinking to myself, this person really doesn't know what's good for them.
Wang Yang kindly offered to help him heal his injuries, but he actually refused.
Wang Yang didn't take it to heart. Since Jian Chen was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
The group remained inside the dilapidated temple, waiting for the rain to stop.
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, the heavy rain continued unabated, and in the latter half of the night, it became even more intense, with thunder and lightning raging and the wind howling in the dark sky!
A flash of lightning followed, and Jian Chen, who was tending to his wounds, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes turned fierce, his original righteousness vanished, and in his place emerged a cold and ruthless look.
"Ahh!"
Suddenly, Jian Chen screamed, looking as if he had lost his mind!
Zhao Min and the others were all startled by Jian Chen's sudden action and turned to look.
"Young master, what... what's wrong with him?"
"Have they gone mad?"
"What's going on?"
Everyone gasped in surprise, looking at Jian Chen in bewilderment.
Seeing this, Wang Yang glanced at him slightly and spoke in a cold voice:
"Judging from his appearance, he has likely been affected by the Heart-Slaying Seal, and it's acting up now!"
"The Seal of the Mind?"
Everyone was stunned, their faces full of confusion.
Wang Yang nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"This Heart-Slaying Seal is a palm technique developed by accumulating years of killing and transforming the killing intent into power."
"Those who are affected will have a dark palm print on their chest, and the pain will gradually take hold, leading them down a path of ferocity and bloodlust until they abandon their true nature!"
After hearing Wang Yang's explanation, Zhao Min and the others finally understood.
Before they could ask any more questions, Jian Chen went completely mad, turning around and glaring fiercely at Wang Yang and the others.
His eyes were cold and sharp, filled with murderous intent.
"You...you all have to die!"
Jian Chen said coldly, at this moment, he was almost completely dominated by killing intent.
Clang!
The next second, the hero's sword he was holding was suddenly drawn from its sheath.
With a flash of sword light, the longsword swept horizontally and immediately attacked Wang Yang and the others.
As the sword was drawn, the air crackled and popped, and the sharp sword energy spread instantly!
"snort!"
Seeing this, Wang Yang snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve at Jian Chen, who was attacking him!
"boom!"
In an instant, a violent surge of energy swept towards Jian Chen like a mighty river.
"Bang!"
In a mere instant, the energy Wang Yang casually unleashed struck Jian Chen, instantly shattering his sword technique and sending him flying through the air!
